Is there a limit to the number of connections that can be made to PupServer? I'm thinking about using it at work as a simple file server (no printing) and we have 10 users.
Thanks

I just tried it on my lunch hour, 1 pupserver, 10 clients, no problem. Mind you I didn't have them all transfering files at one time, so who knows?

Good Luck, J

Awesome, thanks. Just ran our app on my home Windows XP box and it's happy as a clam pulling the database from PupServer. Now just have to build a box with a fast hard drive and see what it will do over the work network._________________MSI 970A-G46/AMD FX-8150/Plextor 128GB SSD/Corsair Vengeance 8GB: Tahr Pup 6

Having problems when I try to umount /mnt/network/PUPSERVER/usr=root passwd=woofwoof
Also /etc/rc.d/rc.shutdown hangs 5 minutes when shuttind down or rebooting the client computer. And I havent figured out how to umount share name which has space in it`s name.
How would you umount that cifs share in commandline and how would you do that using rox-filer, cause the rox right click Umount script also fails.

Oh yeah. First time testing Pupserver and it works as cifs share server great in our living room computer box, which works as digital tv and digital tv recording machine. I can browse the records and watch them when I boot the comp from live cd.

ok nevermind on the previous , how are ya supossed to access pupserver over lan? over internet???

i'm confused...

Hi Jason,
Pupserver is a lan server only. I didn't build in any webserver capacity.

To access it on your network just boot up Pupserver and then on your other Puppy machines use Pnethood. On Windows machines it will show up in My Computer automatically.

You should see Pupserver listed in Pnethood with a share named "user=root password=woofwoof". Enter "root" and "woofwoof" in the appropriate slots and click "Show" and you should be looking at the / directory of Pupserver with links to all your drives.

I built in automatic ethernet connection through eth0 and so far it has worked on every machine I've tried but you might have to connect manually with the connection wizard in some cases.

I was curious to see how an Ubuntu client would detect a Puppy Samba server, so I installed Ubuntu 10.10.

1. On the top menu bar, there is a Places option.
2. Under that, I selected Network.
3. Ubuntu did not immediately detect the Puppy server, so I chose File > Connect to Server.
4. Under Service Type, I chose Windows Share
5. I entered the Puppy server name, the share name and the login info.
6. Ubuntu opened the share successfully.
7. Eventually, Ubuntu auto-detected the Puppy server by its workgroup name and showed it under Network.

Ok , I must be missing something somewhere.., what would the Puppy server name be and how do i create the "share" , I know how to do that in say like Freenas._________________Puppy is Awesome..!!!!
